Sylvain Potin has been the onsite manager of Clau de Nell Estate since 2009, located in Ambillou-Château, Loire Valley, over eight hectares, grown biodynamically since 2000, and taken over by Anne-Claude Leflaive in 2008. Sylvain was hired by Anne-Claude within a few minutes after a walk in the vineyards. Originally from the Angers area, he has extensive experience in the world of wine, from working as a sommelier at prestigious tables, to the marketing of wine and finally as a winemaker, with solid knowledge of biodynamics acquired in Chile and France. Anne-Claude Leflaive, a great name in Burgundy if there ever was one, emblematic winegrower and fervent biodynamicist at Domaine Leflaive, left us in 2015. Today, it is her husband Christian Jacques who perpetuates her philosophy, as best as possible, taking care of the Estate and the team. He was joined by their daughter Claire for the sales and marketing part, who is following in her mother's footsteps with great pleasure.
Minimal sulphites
A few words from the Estate: "A blend of red fruit aromas, lively and full of freshness. Notes of red cherries, raspberries, strawberries, fresh and crunchy, enhanced by a spicy and floral touch. A delicate structure emerges in the mid-palate with a long and precise finish."
Minimal sulphites
A few words from the Estate: "From red fruit to cooked fruit through black fruit, spices and a floral bouquet, this is a wine of beautiful complexity that invites indulgence. A velvety texture with silky tannins."
Minimal sulphites
A nose with notes of undergrowth, leather and cooked fruits. A cuvée that combines the generosity, power, spiciness and fruitiness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the freshness and vivacity of Cabernet Franc. An unctuous, complex wine with elegant tannins.

Organic or biodynamic wine
Second vintage for this crush, it's impossible to guess during a blind tasting! Lots of aromatics carried by white fruits, brioche and a hint of citrus. Fat and opulence on the palate, it is a very beautiful wine, but what did you expect, we’re speaking of Clau de Nell!
Organic or biodynamic wine
As elegant, as deep, as complex, as delicious, as mouth-watering as ever, we keep coming back for more! Notes of quince, candied citrus fruit, almond, subtle hints of vanilla, all carried by a mineral framework. 10 out of 10.
